DIRECTV Disconsolations

October 2, 2007

I grew up drinking Dungenness Ditch water from a creek that ran through the property I lived on and shared it with whoever I damn well pleased while they were on my property.  I never thought I’d have to suffer the indignity of defending myself (or Bill) from what I (or he) did with whatever someone else piped onto my (or his) land. 

The Dungenness Ditch also ran through Bill’s property when Kristin and I lived on it for about a year. We got an account with DirecTV and Bill shared it with us using the extra receiver.  He shared our TV connection, we shared his water from the Dungenness Ditch without any niggardly bitching from that company.  What’s the big deal?  The DirecTV guy that set up the equipment said there was no problem, even after Bill explained to him the troubles he had with Dish TV over the same matter.

I don’t know about Bill’s current problem with pricing, but I do know that the account was set up as one account, with the blessings of the installation man, and we never had any problems while we lived on the property.
